Chapter 362: Three in a Family


    The man appears to just notice her; he nces over and wants to anger her. But when his gaze falls


    upon her, it fixates on her.


    Today, she is wearing a light pink jacket, a very fresh color. Inside she wears a V cor blouse. With a


    pair of whitewashed tight jeans, on her feet is a pair of white sneakers. Half of her hair is let down and


    half tied behind her head. One look and she appears to be a college student.


    Rex immediately recalls the time they met in a bar five years ago. It was the same feeling. In the


    pompous and extravagant environment, she is like a daisy on the peak of a rocky outcrop.

    Five years passed and the child is already so big. She is already twenty-nine years old. But time seems


    to be very kind to her. Not only is she spared from aging, but she also looks even younger.


    She has a baby face and doesn’t look like the mother of a child, especially when she smiles.


    Lily notices the deep stare of the man and feels uneasy and begins to adjust Adair’s cor to avoid his


    gaze.


    What is he looking at with such concentration? Is there something on her face?


    Lily endeavors to keep a neutral expression. She doesn’t want to appear in such a way that makes him


    misunderstand.


    “What do you want to drink? Uncle will have someone prepare.” Rex waves for a waiter.


    Adair ponders and says, “I want soda!”


    “No.” Lily immediately objects, “Soda’s bad for your teeth, you can have some juice.”


    “Okay.” Adair is not spoilt, “then I’ll have some orange juice, thanks.”


    The waitress doesn’t look old and should be around twenty. Sees Adair being so cute and well-


    behaved, she praises, “What a cute kid!”


    This is the first time Rex hears an outsider praising his son and he proudly replies, “Yes, he is lovely.”


    “…” Lily looks by the side. In the past, she had seen him handlingwsuits and other major cases but


    she had never seen him having such a big reaction. It was just apliment from others and he is so


    happy. It is like a huge issue for him.


    She ponders about the time she gave birth and heard a nurse praising her child. It must be the same.


    At that time she was overjoyed. Now she is already used to it.


    She realizes that what he is experiencing is simr to five years ago when she became a mother to


    someone. Lily couldn’t harden her heart towards him.


    No matter what, he is the child’s biological father. It is a bond that will never break and they can’t


    escape from this rtionship.


    The three of them sit in the rest area. Most of the time Rex is talking to Adair and Lily just sits on one


    side listening. She will only reply asionally when the child asks.


    Soon, it is time to board the airne. Rex leads the way and Lily holds onto Adair’s hand and follows


    behind. They step into the airne after the boarding passes are checked.


    Adair’srge eyes keep looking around curiously. The first ss is different from the economy ss. It


    is not that packed and the seats are bigger. Adair sits feels it veryfortable. “Mom, when will the


    airne take off?”


    Lily teaches him how to buckle up the seat belt, “We’re going to take off soon, are you afraid?”


    “No.” He is very excited and shakes his head. Though he says that, Lily could see that it is his first time


    flying in an airne and he is visibly anxious.


    At this moment, the air stewardess brings over two snacks. One is a cup of fruit juice and the other is a


    piece of cake. Lily looks at him and knows that he has instructed it.


    “You’ll need to wait for a while till the aircraft takes off. You can y with this jigsaw puzzle.” He hands


    over a mini jigsaw puzzle which is jumbled up.


    Adair takes it over and lowers his head in concentration to fix the puzzle. His two eyes look seriously at


    the puzzle. He looks so cute.


    Lily’s seat is next to Rex’s. She didn’t rest well these few days and her eye bags are showing. Rex


    notices and gives her a nket, “Rest for a while, I’ll look after the kid.”


    “It’s okay, I’m not tired.” How can she not be tired? It’s because Rex has never taken care of a child and


    can be careless at times. In case something happens to the kid, he may not know how to tell her.


    After a short wait, the airne takes off. Along the runway, the sound of the engines roaring spread to


    the cabin. Soon after, the airne climbs to a suitable height and starts to cruise.


    “You can pull open the window lids.” Rex reminds the boy but doesn’t help him with it.


    Adair opens as he was told and sees plenty of clouds below the airne. He turns and shouts with


    sparkles in his eyes, “It’s so beautiful!”


    Lily couldn’t resist being infected by him and smiles, “Sit properly and don’t move, you can keep


    watching outside.”


    Adair turns his head and continues to look towards outside through the window.


    “First time on an airne?” The man beside her asks.


    Lily softly replies, “Yes.”


    “There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.” He says this but does not borate. However, Lily is


    affected by these words.


    It is very quiet and no one speaks. Initially Lily could stay awake but after a while, she nods to sleep,


    feeling that her eyelids are so heavy. Very quickly, she couldn’t control herself any further and falls into


    a deep sleep.


    Rex hears the steady breathing from the woman beside him. His eyes shift from the documents to her


    snow-whiteplexion. The light from outside shone on her beautiful face. He quickly closed the


    window lids, worried that it would disturb her sleep.


    The air stewardess walks over and asks if he wants another nket. Before she could ask, she sees


    him waving to remain silent.


    The stewardess looks at the fast asleep Lily and in her heart, she is so envious that she can have this


    man’s care and concern.


    Rex looks and bes engrossed. He stares at every inch of her face. Very soon they will be back at


    where they lived once. When he thinks of it, he will be very excited.


    Only God would know how long he has waited for this day and longed for this day. Moreover, this time


    they are going back with Adair. All these are like a dream to Rex.


    “Uncle…” A small kid’s voicees into his ears.


    Rex lifts his head and could only see a chubby hand holding onto the jigsaw puzzle. With a satisfied


    expression, he reports, “I’vepleted it.”


    Adair turns and looks at Lily who is asleep and he doesn’t make any noise. He is careful to remind Rex,


    “Uncle, my mommy is asleep. We’ll have to speak softly.”


    Unbeknownst to him, he suddenly feels the emotion racing through him and his eyes start to turn red.


    He is afraid that the kid could see and he says gently, “Okay, we’ll speak softly.”
